It seems like you missed showing the most important part of the Ergo Clear recipe - throwing the MX Brown refuse in the furnace and listening to the demons that inhabited it shriek.
Since I find MX reds to be too light, this seems like a no-brainer. Swap out the springs from a set of reds and a set of clears and boom: now you have a nice light tactile set and a nice heavy linear set!
Dude I discovered you yesterday while mindlessly clicking around on switch sound testing videos and cannot stop watching like everything you've ever made. Fan for life.

Clears are actually the only Cherry MX switches I like, and they've been on my daily driver for a few years now. Because of their weight, they're the only switches on which I can avoid bottoming-out without even trying. They have a very very unique, "bouncy" feel that I like.
I own one and really love it. I know people get hung up on the price and unorthodox nature of this board, but it is super solid and consistent-sounding across all the keys.
If it's inconsistent and noisy I call it "scratchy" - if its consistent and maybe even pleasant, I call it "textured". Example; I'd say Outemu browns are "scratchy" - Gateron Caps are "textured". Totally agreed about the Cherry Nylon housing. No stock Cherry is a favorite of mine - but those housings can make some lovely sounds.
Got a new job, was ready to get a real mech instead of the $20 "brown switch" Amazon special I'd been bearing with. Dived deep researching so i could get gūd on a budget. I knew i needed something actually tactile and heard of Ergo Clears. Found this vid and realized, you're exactly the person i needed to sub, and after researching switches you mentioned at 4:43, that kaihl box silent browns were what I needed. (Thank you for that video as well!) Got an EVGA Z15, yes I know it's not amazing, but it was everything I needed for $45. Ordered 100 switches for $45, and and here I am, with the best $90 keyboard ever. Still need some stab lube and pbt keycaps, but extremely happy so far, and it's thanks to you.
go for the ergo clears for sure. my blueberries have been collecting dust on my shelf for quite a while because of how odd the tactile bump feels. it feels like one big "oompfh" and thats it LOL. i dont know how else to describe it
@Tan Beng Yau LOL I've tried breaking them in for about a month a now and, the scratch with the stem sliding over the leaf just makes such a chalky sound
Congrats, not only did you inform me more about switch choices when picking my new keyboard, you have me hooked on your videos and personality in one video. Actually, more like in 1 minute. Good work, keep this up, please.
When I bought a switch tester it came with all of the cherry MX switches, even some of the more obscure ones like clear, grey and white and I was genuinely surprised at the tactility of the clears compared to the anemic browns
i got a cherry mx clear board a year or so back and i tried to google whether it was good or not but i couldn't find anything on it online. Now I am happy.
Glarses: **talking about the tactile bump and smoothness of the switch** Me, who still uses the mesh keyboard that came with my computer: interesting...
Loved the video as always! I actually was looking up what ergo clears were all about earlier this week, so this was perfect timing, very educational and entertaining!
@@Glarses my ergo clear board was my endgame until I got back into it early last year and went down the rabbit hole of all the new stuff Love your videos, I look forward to watching all 50
It took 11 years, but Cherry finally listened and is officially making Ergo Clears, in normal and RGB versions. Wish they did this a few months ago, it would have saved me the time it took to make my own Ergo Clear RGBs. Oh well, at least you can get them officially now without having to make your own.
How did you get rgb for the regular clear housings? I’m thinking of making my own ergo clears to save some money but the bottom housing doesn’t have much of a cutout for rgb. I’m considering melting a hole through the housing with a soldering iron but I’m curious to know how you achieved this (if there’s a better way than melting plastic haha)
after watching a bunch of his videos and hearing him dump on cherry switches so much, its very interesting to see "ergo clears the KING of tactiles" at the end
My first mechanical keyboard will have Ergo Clears :) I tried a couple of switches (from cherry MX) using a little test kit and I found the browns to feel a bit scratchy, the clears nice but too heavy, and then clears with the springs of browns perfect! It's gonna be a lot of work replacing all the springs but probably worth it I think :)
Subbed just for your enthusiasm to s̶h̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶ share your honest opinions on MX Brown switches. I just introduced my cousin to mech keyboards. We were at a store and I recommended he try a keyboard with MX Blues for a clicky switch and another keyboard with MX Reds for a linear switch. He asked, "What about this keyboard with brown switches?" I told him that was also a linear switch, just because it's less disappointing that way.
50 videos this year...... If you don't, you are doing the MX Browns for a week challange next January. EDIT: A week seems weak... You will have to type on unlubed, unfilmed, brand new MX Browns for a month. January 2022.
It is currently the end of May and he has made 8 videos, so hopefully we will get the week of MX browns. But no, he, as well as all of us, have a lot going on this and last year. We can hold him to bets like this once he has finished school.
I wonder what it would be like to put the MX Clear spring into a Cherry MX Brown, a heavyweight brown some would say. Would the tactility be any better?
Awesome! More glarses! Thanks for another vid, man. This one was great! Recently picked up my 2nd board. Now I've got a full board of box whites, and a 96% hotswappable board with some gateron yellow optical switches, which I plan to lube, haha.
Swapped the Clear Spring with a Gateron Blue, it is a longer Spring and more dense. Feels way different from Clears stock. Completely new Switch, in a good way. Positively surprised how this turned out.
@@HoveKB schweet, I'd like having 1 to try, I ordered 10 sherbets on a whim to try, and 40 creams :) Thanks for your input, and keep on enjoying what you wanna enjoy, people in mech community can be too dogmatic
Im so glad i watched this video. A few years ago my friends bought mechanical keyboards. One of them with the reds and one of them with the browns. So i tried them side to side, and if they havent told me that they are supposed to feel different, i wouldnt notice the diference. I thought i was crazy until now. TY
Came here after looking for a good review for a tactile switch, was not let down and I could not subscribe fast enough. Good luck with the videos this year.

"slightly bigger hump".

Love how you brake down everything bro. Really good in helping people fig out what they might like withough having the ability to try every switch.
Hey Glarses if you like Ergo Clears you should give the Penguin switches a try. They're pretty similar and sound pretty good imo.
